1,4 di (2',4,6' trimethyl 3' chloro) phenyl aminoanthraquinone, 1,4 di (2',6' dimethyl) phenylamino 6 chloro anthraquinone, 1,4 di (2,6 dimethyl) phenylamino 6,7 dichloro anthraquinone, etc.

The said sulfonic acid chlorides can be prepared, for example, by the action of chlorosulfonic acid on the corresponding 1,4 diarylaminoanthraquinone until the resultant compounds have become soluble in hot dilute alkali metal hydroxide solution, but are still insoluble in water. The starting material is preferably added, while stirringat -10 C. to 100 it C., to the chlorosulfonic and the stirring continued until the indicated point is reached. Then the reaction product is poured onto ice or onto a mixture of ice and water or saltwater, and the formed precipitate filtered off and washed. The product may be used as a moist paste, but if desired it may be dehydrated by careful drying, preferably under reduced pressure and at a low temperature (e. g. C.).

Suitable amines for use in preparing the sulfonic acid amides of the present invention comprise ammonia and its derivatives resulting from the replacement of one or two hydrogen atoms by alkyl, oxalkyl, cycloalkyl or aryl, for example: methylamine, ethylamine, diethylamine, amylamine, ethanolamine, diethanolamine, propanolamine,

stands for H, C1 or Br, and R is the radical of an amine,

and wherein each phenyl nucleus may be further substi tuted by methyl, ethyl, chlorine or bromine, provided however that not more than one halogen atom maybe present on each phenyl nucleus. i 1

Thecompounds of the present invention may be pre-, pared by condensing the correspondingusulfonic acid chlorides of the formula i x r 3020i (III) NH I SO20] Y wherein X, Y and 2 have the precedingly-recited significances and the precedinglyflndicated proviso applies, with ,Suitable starting compounds forthe, preparation of the sulfonic acidamides of the present invention comprise for example. the sulfonic .acid chlorides of the following:

piperidine, taurine, N-methyltaurine, aminobenzene, amino-methylbenzenes, amino-dimethylbenzenes, aminometho'xybenzenes, amino-ethoxybenzenes, amino-dimethylbenzenesulfonic acids, amino-methoxybenzenesulfonic acids, N (aminophenyl) aminobenzenesulfonic acids, aminonaphthalenesulfonic acids, (3 amino 4' methoxy) -pheny'lmethanesulfonic acid, (3 amino 4,6 dimethyl) phenyhnethanesulfonic acid, etc.

To efiect the condensation, the sulfonic acid chlorides may be stirred, dry or in the form of wet press cakes, with the amines. As solvent or diluent, when these are employed, use is made when possible of the amine itself; otherwise water, or alcohols, such as methyl alcohol, ethyl alcohol or propyl alcohols, or ketones, such as acetone or i methylethylketone, or mixtures, such as aqueous alcohol, may be used. The condensation takes place at ordinary (20-30 C.) or slightly raised temperature; in some cases, it may be desirable to heat to about 80-100 C. to drive the condensation to completion.

' The liberated hydrochloric acid may be bound by an excess of the amine being condensed or by an acid-binding agent, such as sodium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate or the carbonates of lithium and potassium.

The sulfonic acid amides are separated from the reaction mixture by dilution with water, salt Water or dilute hydrochloric or sulfuric acid-depending upon whether the sulfonic acid amide is Water-soluble or water-insoluble, and depending upon the nature of the diluentand filtration. In some cases, the entire reaction mixture may be dried.

acid groups, they are useful as lacquers and plastic masses.

The products of the condensation are generally disulfonic acid amides corresponding to the disulfonic acid chlorides.

Insofar as the sulfonic acid amides have no sulfonic pigments and for coloring The water-soluble sulfonic acid amides are valuable blue dyestuffs for the dyeing of animal fibers, such as wool, silk, tussah, etc. and of synthetic fibers, such as nylon. The dyeings on wool, in particular, are distinguished by ing and light.
